I do not dislike Baltimore. In fact if this was any other year I'd be rooting for them to go all the way. It's just that THIS season the Royals are the biggest underdogs in the playoffs, and they have been cellar dwellers for so long in one of the league's smallest markets, with one of their lowest payrolls, that its impossible for me NOT to support them in their quest for the Series.
They have lost so many great players to free agency over the years that seeing this team do so much with so little is just mindblowing. It seems like every game is an extra inning thriller. Just like last night.
They had the lead, lost in it in the 6th, and then won it with a dramatic 10th inning home run. This is the ONLY team in baseball not to hit 100 home runs this year, and yet they are winning extra inning game after extra inning game with home run blasts. Amazing.
It's a long series, but this in one great start to it.
Go Royals.
